Detroit Tigers third baseman, Miguel Cabrera has won the 2012 American League Most Valuable Player Award. He took 22 first place votes and is the first Venezuelan born MLB player to win the award. Los Angeles LA Angels rookie outfielder, Mike Trout finished second with six first place votes.

Prior to this season, Cabrera was the Detroit Tigers 1st baseman, but when the Tigers signed Prince Fielder in January, Cabrera decided to make the switch over to third base. He responded by having the first Triple Crown season since Carl Yaztrzemski in 1967. He also led the Tigers to a Division Title as well as the American League Pennant.

Thank you to both Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout for giving us fans such incredible performances.
